Analytical determination of the mechanism of an airplane spin recovery with different applied yawing moments by use of rotary-balance data

Description: From Introduction: "These aerodynamic data were used previously in an analytical investigation of a spin recovery by rudder reversal, the results of which have been published in reference 2. Because of certain discrepancies in the rotary-balance data similar to those discussed in reference 3, some modifications were made to the aerodynamic data used in calculating the results in reference 2 and also the results in this paper; these discrepancies and modifications are discussed in detail herein." more
